"It wouldn't be insane if Ramos won the Ballon D'Or," says Pirri

José Martínez 'Pirri' took to the microphones at Radio MARCA to comment on current events at Real Madrid, the club's tenth European Cup title and, and in particular, the player considered by many to be 'the final's man of the match', Sergio Ramos.

Sergio Ramos: "It wouldn't be insane for Ramos to win the Ballon D'Or. It seems a given that a striker must win it, or a player who scores lots of goals, but Cannavaro, a defender, has already won it. I know him and I'm very fond of him. He's an incredible player, one who defends, who attacks, is physically strong, and has been one of Real Madrid's most important players in recent years."

The Ballon D'Or: "It's often very unfair. They gave it to Cannavaro and not to Hierro, for example. I hope that Spain have a great World Cup, that they reach the final and if at all possible, they win it, and that a Spanish player wins the Ballon D'Or. I hope it'll be Sergio Ramos, just as I hoped that Casillas would win it at another time. He's one of the most important players in world football right now."
